Last Morocco post, we promised tales of sass and swindle. The tail-end of that entry left us exploring Fes, after which we (and our entire trip) both literally and figuratively went south. Are you picking up what I’m putting down? Lemme be more clear: It was all Luis’ fault. It may appear as though I’m … Continue Reading
As frostier temps draw near, I’ve been on the prowl for some new belly-warming recipes. I think I’ve found just the dish to curb the clam chowder and chili overdose from which I annually suffer during my winter hibernation. I hope you’ll share my appreciation for it! This is our second month experimenting with A … Continue Reading
Happy Halloween, readers! I’m sure you’ll encounter no shortage of sweets today, but we’re about to one-up the candy corn coma you’ll likely fall into later on. While you’re planning what to give out to all the little ghouls and goblins in your ‘hood, we’re planning the Thai treats we’ll be giving out to YOU! Remember our new collaboration with A Taste … Continue Reading
When I was a little girl, I read about a Moroccan town enshrouded in hues of blue. Since blue was my favorite color at the time, I fervently scribbled the town on my bucket list. I finally made my way to Morocco a few months back, and since my travel criteria hasn’t matured over the years, seeing that blue-rinsed town remained top … Continue Reading
Yesterday, we introduced our new partnership with A Taste of Thai. As promised in that post, we’re showcasing our first few recipes today! I figure that Pad Thai is a good springboard, as it was a theme throughout our last entry, and it’s a dish with which most people are familiar. I was interested to gauge A … Continue Reading
Have you ever made Thai food from scratch? If your answer to that question is, “Yeah, it’s super simple,” I’m afraid we can’t be friends, as you may cause my healthy self-esteem to irrevocably plummet into a dark, lonely abyss. On planet Earth (where I currently reside), Thai cooking is a complex art that takes … Continue Reading
Welcome back for Part 2 of two posts we’re devoting to our absolute favorite dining experiences in Cape Town. If you travel often, you know that it’s pretty common for memories of places seen, meals eaten, and adventures had to blend together or fade away with time. Heck, even if you aren’t big on traveling, … Continue Reading
Those of you familiar with me and my daffy ways know that I have a termination problem. If a destination even remotely piques my interest, I cling to it until all of my curiosities are sated. This usually comes in the form of my “needing” to try every restaurant on my wish list, which seldom … Continue Reading
Last time, we tackled the food scene in Mozambique’s capital, but where are you going to rest off your food coma during the interludes when you’re not chowing down? Hopefully, not in your bowl. Compared to other major cities, Maputo’s lodging options are sparse. Also, their prices will confound you. A generic hotel room (think … Continue Reading
The past few years have essentially consisted of my two best friends and I following each other around the world, which I am NOT complaining about. This time, our adventures coalesced in Maputo, Mozambique, where one of my lovelies is toiling in a public health internship for her Master’s program. Her undercover mission is to … Continue Reading
